Phillip Dorsett, WR, New England Patriots

Yahoo! Ownership: 2%

With Chris Hogan not practicing and looking unlikely to play on Sunday for the New England Patriots, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett could be thrust into a starting role in Week 10. The Patriots' receiving depth has been thin this year, with only five players receiving any offensive snaps, and that includes Matt Slater and his mere eight. The last time one of the Pats' big three receivers (Brandin Cooks, Hogan, Danny Amendola) was hurt (Week 2), Dorsett filled in, playing a season-high 32 snaps with 3 receptions for 68 yards.

The coaching staff has been talking up Dorsett recently, with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels saying New England wants Dorsett's role to expand and head coach Bill Belichick telling reporters the former Colts receiver has gotten better every week. With the confidence of the coaching staff, Dorsett could break out versus the Denver Broncos, who gave up 10 catches for 139 yards and 2 touchdowns to the Philadelphia Eagles' receivers last week.
